Singapore, despite its poor natural resource endowment, small population, and size, has often been described as punching above its weight in international affairs. Part of this stems from the way Singapore strategically integrates the different diplomatic, political, and defense-oriented tools at its disposal. To explore this, \u003ci\u003eSingapore's Grand Strategy\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fresh and useful diplomatic, defense, and security history of Singapore, from its independence in 1965 through today's period of strategic realignment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Most previous studies of grand strategy have focused on super- or at least middle powers, but this book presents an important contribution to international relations and strategic studies by showing how the concept can help explain the strategic posture and achievements of small states as well. Moreover, he brings a historian's perspective to a subject usually tackled by political scientists. The result will be useful and important for scholars in these fields.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cheng Guan Ang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9813252235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789813252233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National University of Singapore Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 5.83w x 0.32d","brand":"Cheng Guan Ang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213099495679,"sku":"9789813252233","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_227e57b0-58b4-434e-9546-33543b019abc.jpg?v=1692112067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/singapores-grand-strategy-cheng-guan-ang-9789813252233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
